Comfy Yet Festive NYE Looks

Yes, New Year’s Eve is traditionally a chance to get bling-y, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Girls, fool friends with stretchy faux leather leggings instead of tight leather pants, and top your look with a cozy animal print coat. Guys, go for a sleek all-black ensemble to disguise how low-key your clothes really are (or just carry around this chic flask and Polaroid camera, and no one will give your ‘fit a second look).

All-Dressed-Up NYE Looks

When you think about a formal New Year’s Eve frock, you probably picture something black and sparkly. Instead, stand out in a jaw-dropping red number with a playful center cutout. And for the dudes, we have the same advice: don’t shy away from a little color for dressy occasions.
